There’s a saying in business: if you can’t measure it, it never happened. But how do you measure satisfaction? Luckily, there’s a measure for that, too: customer satisfaction metrics. Customer satisfaction quantifies the degree to which a customer is pleased by a product, brand, or overall experience. If you don’t measure customer satisfaction, you may be blindsided by customers who churn or discourage others from working with you.

Speaker: Nicholas Zeisler, CX Strategist & Fractional CXO
The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

Post-call surveys are an industry standard when it comes to assessing customer experience. But if you are a CX leader looking to understand the level of effort customers are encountering, then relying on these sorts of surveys is the wrong path forward. Your customers have already provided all the insights you could possibly need during the actual conversations that preceded the surveys themselves–conversations that you have already spent money to capture and record.

When you stop to think about the job of a call center agent in an inbound contact center, it’s really no wonder so many people consider it a stressful task. Talking to complete strangers on the phone, one after another for hours, day after day is enough to make many people anxious. Add in the element of not knowing how those people will be feeling when they call and knowing that they are likely to have questions, concerns, or complaints makes it even more nerve-wracking.

The word dramatic is a great word. When you use it to describe changes you make to improve customer service, it has a positive meaning. It sounds like you’re making big changes for the better. However, if you shorten the word to drama , it takes on an entirely different meaning—one that’s negative. Merriam-Webster’s definition for how the word is used in this context is that it is “a state, situation, or series of events involving interesting or intense conflict of forces.”.

Phone fraud starts with a simple call. Nothing appears suspicious. The phone number matches that of a longtime, loyal customer. The voice sounds friendly enough, and they even have the patience to answer several personal questions, which they answer correctly in a calm and relaxed manner. When a customer calls into a contact center, the trained telephone agent who picks up can detect a slight sense of urgency, if not a bit of frustration, in the caller’s voice.
